    This bike is a 22" frame 2008 model mens bike perfect for tall people but would suit any rider

    lockable suspension forks with 6" travel
    all SRAM running gear selectors and adjusters etc
    Tektro brake levers
    carbon style mud gaurds
    rear led light
    travel pouch
    bottle holster
    tyres 98%
    wheels have no buckles or anything

    its the 2008 model mate as time goes on things get cheaper i guess nowa days its the same in every market example tvs .... they once cost a bomb now they dont

    anyway this had loads of accessories fitted when buyin it new like specific tyres, carbon fiber mud gaurds, pouches, bottle holsters, lights, option of different size made it dearer also changed brake levers and handle bar grips etc

    so thats how :) 250 is the price i want for it im not asking for 600
    i payed about 1200 for what you see in the picture when new

    i think the bike its self back then was defo around 925 new

    thanks for looking

    Not going to comment on your sale price, thats between you and whoever might sell it. But I do have a problem with you stating it cost 1200 new as that is misleading.

    Even if this did cost you that much to leave out that that price included loads of accessories, which dont appear to be part of this sale (eg carbon mudguards).

    Why I accept that you may have paid what you said, this bike in 2008 only cost circa 500. So now someone who doesn't know much on bikes and views this ad will not be mislead.

    That is all. As I said I have no issue with your sale price and again glws

    i understand what your saying but the bike was more than the 500 you claim they are new in 2008 as you have put in this post and more than 600 you claimed new in your last post

    im not here to argue i just want to sell a very good bike for 250 even if i payed above the odds for it at the time you claim so be it

    further more the cabon style mud gaurds are attached to the bike if you look at the pics as are all the other bits

    anyway the bike is for sale for 250 and thats the point of the matter
    nobody is being mislead or over charged

    thank you for pointing out your opinion
    please end that here thank you

    will now edit the other add and say with accesories :)
